Washingtoon was a politically-oriented comic strip created by Marc Alan Stamaty that was published in the Washington Post and the Village Voice. The wonderfully-named Congressman Bob Forehead was the lead character. Then as now, the Post was my local newspaper and I read it there. IIRC, it appeared on the editorial pages, though I’d say that was as much due to its size as the content.

It was also turned into a short-lived Showtime sitcom. I never watched it, but when I looked into it a bit just now, I was surprised to learn Christina Applegate played the Congressman’s daughter, in what seems to be her first recurring TV role.

A while ago I discovered Chris's work, and it made me see what I do in a different way. I'm impressed by how much his thinking about graphic narratives manages to expand the format. This page is the most recent one I've done, inspired by what I've seen him do in his career but creating something of my own, using characters from my graphic novel Afronta, originally released in 2018. The new version of the graphic novel that I will reprint will have the original story and this new page printed in A3 format inserted inside the book. This artwork was created on an A2 sheet of paper, measuring 54x68cm. It was difficult, but I'm very happy to have finished it.
